CENTENNIAL DISPLAY.
Great Preparations Being Made for the
Celebration In New York.
New York, April 18.—[Special]—Captain
Henry Erban, United States navy, of the
navy committee, has received a number of
communications from the agents of several
of the foreign steamship lines In response
to a request from the navy committee, ask-
ing tkem if they would decorate their piers
and such of their steamers as happen to be
in port on Monday, April 29, the day of the
great naval parade. The responses have
been favorable, and a magnificent display
all along the Hudson river on both sides is
now a certainty.
Among the companies which have al-
ready promised to make the displays sug-
gested are the Inman, White Star, Red
Star, Compagnle Generate, Trans-Atlan-
tique, the National, Cnnard, Nord-
Deutscher, Hamburg-American and Neth-
orland lines, and there is no doubt that all
the other companies having piers on either
side of the Hudson river will join in the dis-
play of bunting, .with a friendly view to
rivaling all the display made by tho Ameri-
can companies' docks.
"We want to make the Hudson a perfect
funnel of flags and bunting into which the
procession shall pass," said Captain ErbaUj
"and if the ideas of the committee are car-
ried out the purpose will certainly be ac-
complished."
The seven or eight United States revenue
cutters which may be in this port at the
tim < of the parade will take part in It as a
portion of the United States navy division
of the revenue fleet preceding the steam
yachts which are expected to take part in
the parade. The mercantile division, already
numbering 359 vessels of all shapes, styles
and sizes known to shipmakers, will follow
the yachts. The line of parade, though not
officially determined upon, will be up the
harbor, around the battery, up East river,
turning at Hunter point, and then steaming
down tho East river, and then up the
North river to a point vet to be fixed upon,
where the parade will be dismissed. To
satisfy the general curiosity tho committee
will do all in their power to have the Vesu-
vius, now at Philadelphia, brought to this
city and given a prominent place in the
parade of the fleet. Captain Zolinski is
doing all in his power to get the naval
authorities and the builders to send her to
this city. The plan and scope committee
yesterday appropriated $500 to the navy com-
mittee to be used in providing a lunch on
the Sirius for the ladies of the presidential
party and the other guests who will be on
board that steamer.
FIRE KtiCORD.
a residence destroyed.
Pittsburg, Tex., April 18.—This morning
a little after 12 o'clock Mr. P. B. Ligon's
residence, with all the contents, was con-
sumed by fire. Mr. Ligon and family were
spending the night at Flanagan's lake, ten
miles east, and no one was sleeping in the
house. When the fire was discovered it had
made such headway that nothing could be
saved. It is conceded to be tho work of an
incendiary. The premises were looked
after yesterday by Mrs. Ligon's sister and
no fire was about the house. The general
impression is that the house was pillaged
and then burned to cover up the crime. A
five-gallon oil can was found after the flre
near the piano, and it was evident from
this and the rapidity with which the flames
spread that coal oil was freely distributed.
The loss was estimated at about $3000, with
$1500 insurance.
a bridge and barn.
Taylor, Tex., April 18.—A south-bouud
freight train on the International and
Groat Northern this morning found the
bridge a half mile south of Duval consumed
by flre. The north and south bound pas-,
senger trains transferred passengers and
baggage, causing a delay of several hours.
The oarn of John A. Gore, two miles west
of Taylor, was consumed by fire yesterday
about 10 o'clock. The contents of oats, corn,
hay and Implements were destroyed. The
insurance agency of John Loyd had a policy
for $550 in the Fire association of Phila-
delphia on the building, and the agency of
John R. Jones a policy for $400 in the Com-
mercial of California ou the contents. No
theory is advanced as to the origin of the
fire.
a residence burned.
WACO, Tex., April 18.—At Bruceville, a
McLennan county town, south of Waco, to-
day the residence of Dr. L. N. Bruce was de-
stroyed by fire. The house w.'th its con-
tents is estimated at $7000. The insurance
was about 50 per cent of tho loss.
RAILROAD BUDGET.
railroad taxes remitted.
Lake Charles, La., April 18.—The police
jury of Calcasieu parish unanimously
adopted to-day an ordinance remitting in
favor of the Kansas City, Watkins and
Gulf Railway company, for a period of
fifteen years from the first assessment there-
of, all parish taxes which may be assessed
on all standard gauge railroads, extensions,
feeders and other property owned exclu-
sively by the company, belonging to the
equipment and operating of a first-class
standard gauge railroad, on condition that
the company shall construct a main line of
road northerly through Calcasieu parish,
work to commence this year, by the 1st of
July.
The president of the company is here, and
says work will be pushed vigorously and
that many more miles of the road will be
constructed annually than is required by
the ordinance.
second mortgage intervenors.
Palestine, Tex., April 18.—To-day par-
ties owning $10,000 of International |and
Great Northern second mortgage bonds
have intervened in the suit pending here.
These bondholders ask for foreclosure and
extension of the Palestine receivership to
include and protect their interests. Other
bondholders and creditors are also expected
to come in.

No News of the Danmark.
New York, April 18.—The stereotyped re-
ply, "no news" was given all Inquirers
about the unfortunate passengers and crew
of the Danmark by the agents of the Thlng-
valla line this morning. The Alsatia of the
Anchor line, from Gibraltar April 1, reached
this port to-day. Her officers had seen no
trace of the lost vessel nor ol lier passen-
gers.

GROWING IN INTEREST.

Pl
N.
! Reynolds court-martial.
San Antonio, Tex., April 18.—Since Jack
Harris was murdered in San Antonio by the
celebrated Ben Thompson, years ago, no
trial has excited one-halt so much interest
as the preliminary examination of Albert
Harry Newton of Vicksburg, Miss., charged
with the attempted assassination of Banker
J. S. Lockwood on the night of the Si-h in-
stant. It is drawing to a close after fiv«
days of continuous session, and Is as fully
attended as at its inception. A11 day long
crowds go to and from the courtroom and
stand upon the sidewalk and corners argu-
ing the pros and cons in the case.
The aff-tir is exceptional because of the
high social standing of the man who was
shot, because no motive was assigned for
the shooting, because he positively identi-
fies Newton as his assailant, and because a
half dozen witnesses of unimpeachable
character swear that the accused was at his
boarding-house at the time the assault oc-
curred peaceably talking with the inmates
and could not possibly have been concerned.
Add to this that Newton has a young and
beautiful wife who firmly believes in him.
The court-room from day to-day has been
packed, not only by common sightseers,
but by the first ladies and gentlemen of the
city, and the excitement has been at all
time at fever heat. When the case was
opened this evening the state was introduc-
ing additional testimony. Hon. J. H. Mc-
Leary, ex-associate justice of Montana and
ex-attorney-general of the state of Texas,
was put upon the stand. He said that New-
ton had come to him on the 1st of April and
rented a small house, with five acres of
ground attached, which stands in a lonely
position in the outer suburbs. Newton had
stated that he intended to use it as a coyote
pen on a grand scale. The foxes were nearly
all dead in Mississippi, and he intended to
catch coyotes and ship them back there to
take the place of exhausted reynards. Ho
paid a portion of the money in advance.
The theory of the prosecution now is that
Newton had accomplices; that it was their
intention to decoy Lockwood from home,
tako him into the suburbs, force him to
write a letter to his wife explaining his ab-
sence and draw checks, which were to be
cashed in time to allow the conspirators to
escape before his release.
The prosecution believes that the accom-
lices are still in San Antonio, and that
ewton will ultimately break down and
give them away.
The court adjourned until to-morrow
morning.
hi
The court-martial of CaDtaiu Balnbridge
Reynolds, of Troop L, Third cavalry, upon
charges of conduct unbecoming an officer
and a gentleman, was continued at the post
this morning in the presence of a full
board. Judge Advocate Ballance prose-
cuted. The accused was defended bv Dis-
trict Attorney George Paschal. As there
was no stenographer present all the pro-
ceedings were in long hand and were very
slow. Captain Reynolds pleaded guilty to
publishing tho celebrated card of apology
which first called down official wrath upon
his shortcomings, and pleaded not guilty to
the other specifications, which included
drunkenness.
The testimony of the steward of the hos-
pital and tho soldiers detailed to take him
to the hospital went to snow tnat accused
was suffering with delirium produced by too
much whisky.
Court adjourned until to-morrow morn-
ing. A merry time is anticipated before it
finally disbands. It was called to "transact
such business as may come before it," and
as soon as Reynolds is disposed of a half
dozen court raartials will follow of vari-
ous ofiicers who have been golug it rather
rapidly.
a fine artesian well.
The Crystal ice company on the corner of
Eighth and avenue B, struck artesian water
to-day at a depth of 700 feet. The same
company recently struck natural gas and
moved their drill but a few feet, to its pres-
ent location. In going down the vein of
natural gas was again struck at 500 teat,
but was cased in and boring continued.
When water was struck to-day, the rope
slacked and fifteen feet of the rope coiled
upon the ground. The pressure was so tre-
mendous that the drill, weighing 4600
pounds, was forced up to that distance.
When it was withdrawn the water gushed
out in a stream eight inches thick and ten
feet high. The flow is 1,500,000 gallons
daily, making it more than twice the size
of any well in Texas. It furnishes enough
power to run an electric light factory in
addition to supplying tho neighborhood
with wator, and furnishing more than
enough for manufacturing purposes.
Another well will be sunk immediately.

Killing Flume Cranes.
Brownsville, Tex., April 18.—Two or
three small schooners from up the coast are
at the laguna Madre killing plume cranes
and other sea birds valuable for their plum-
age. This is the time when those birds are
incubating and raising their young, and as
the old ones are killed almost on their nests
the result is that in a short time they will
be exterminated, and thns a valuable and
important industry for this section ruined.
As it is these birds are rapidly becoming
scarce and in a short time will be a rarity,
where they were at one time so plenty.

A Life Made Miserable
by dyspepsia is scarcely worth the living. A
capricious appetite, heartburn, puzzling nervous
symptoms, increased action of the heart after
eating, sinking in the abdomen between me&ls,
and flatulence after, are among the successive
Indicia of this Larrassing complaint. Two things
only are neodful for its removal—a rosort to Hos-
tetter's Stomach Bitters, and persistence in its
use. These remedial measures being adopted, a
cure is certain. Taken immediately before or
symptoms
consequent upon chronic indigestion disappear
as the complaint gradually yields to the cor-
rective and invigorating influence of the Bit-
tors. Appetite roturns, sleep becomes more re-
freshing, and, as a consequence, the body is
efficiently nourished, muscular power increases
and the mind grows sanguine. Use tho Bitters
for chills and fever and rheumatism.
